I just watched (0240 local) a wall lizard catch and eat a moth on my parent’s upstairs porch. I assisted by chasing the moth to the side of the sliding glass door where 3 lizards were and the most observant one had dinner. I like lizards 🙂

Every night we watch “Wild Kingdom” play on the window screens of our kitchen. Sometimes there are as many as six geckos stalking insects - I like it when they catch a big moth and fight over it, although my wife is a bit squeamish.
